    It’s just Windows holding back the industry again. X86 could be long gone if MacOS and Linux would be most popular.

      Windows runs on ARM just fine, it’s the legacy apps that are holding the industry back. Just like some institutions are still running AS/400 machines because nobody can port the programs they’re using.

        I blame MS because they have repeatedly failed to light a big enough fire under app devs to get them to migrate to modern APIs and write more arch agnostic code, nor have they provided the tooling to get it done. Why isn’t the default on every MS compiler for Windows to produce fat binaries for x86 and ARM? That alone would help adoption greatly.
